Abstract

With the increase in automotive powertrain complexity, an upfront assessment of powertrain capability in meeting its design targets is important early on in the development programs. The optimization of control policy based on powertrain simulation models can facilitate this assessment and establish limits of achievable performance for given powertrain configuration and parameters. The paper discusses several computational optimization and user interface solutions for deploying a numerical optimal control approach in a user-friendly software environment.
